Evelyn Gee was born on 1939 in Texas, USA. She makes her home in San Antonio with her husband, Jim and their son, Jason.
She signed her novels as Constance O'Banyon. She also wrote as Micah Leigh with Texan writer Emma Merritt. Her books range from historical to contemporary and include several novellas. Many of her books have been published in trade paperback.Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print.
She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling — it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air."
I know I'm pushing the envelope much, but the average rating for her books is a freaking 3.9. I can't account for personal taste and maybe you may not enjoy her work, but then there's the chance that you discover a best kept secret like I have.
SM is western themed with a bit of Shakespeare. A feuding family with a whole lot of misunderstanding. It's a thin line between love and hate but of course, it all ends with love. There's a lot more to this book that leaves you flipping pages till the very end.
This was a touching story about a couple finding love again after being driven apart by secrets and lies. The hero is a hard core alpha who has turned bitter after he thought he had been rejected. Heroine is a tough as nails alpha female who will take no **i* from anyone, especially the hero. I really liked the story. The heroine is really tough on the hero a bit past the point I would of liked and her bitterness felt a little unwarranted after a certain point. I still recommend.
Overall, I like the story of a family feud that hurt these two lovers, but the heroine was over the top stubborn and not that smart. If someone is trying to kill you, wouldn't it be a good idea not to go somewhere alone? I felt like it was too much nonsense. Plus, she wanted to take the love of her life's daughter from him still in the end? Especially when he did so much for her? I wanted to throw the book across the room plenty of times.
